Sorry I missed giving you this info. It is an XP prof. I am the first
and only owner.

It has two users, one admin and the other a limited user.

I decided to install Steadystate (in after thought not a wise
decision)!!

I delete the policy from the registery and defrag seems to work now.

Thanks for your help!

Professional, Home Edition, Media Center?

My reason for asking is that these type of restrictions are normally
found in networked office computers overseen by an Administrator. Is
it a Desktop or Laptop? What is the ownership history?

How many user accounts? Are any subjected to parental controls?

Why were you prompted to install Steadystate?

What is the exact version of Windows XP installed on the computer?

Is there an Error Report in Event Viewer?

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and
close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste
into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

Hello Gerry,

Thanks for responding.

I tried the suggestions but it did not work. In my case defrag
console comes up without any problem. But when I hit defragment
button nothing happens.

I had the a problem (windows hanging at restart after enabling
disk protection) with Steady State. Then I stopped (power off)
and started the system. From then on I cannot get the windows
Defragmenter to work. I uninstalled SS, but the same problem
persists. I think since I stopped and started the machine I am
not able to fully uninstall SS. Is there anyway to

1. Uninstall SS fully
2. Get Defragmentor to work

I also tried to install SS again and then uninstalled it.
Still the problem with deframent is not solved.

Please help!!! I am using windows XP pro. I posted in the
steadystate forum and was told I should post it here since it
is a System Issue.
